Southern California Edison today proposed an
integrated strategic framework for the state of California to meet its
ambitious climate and air quality goals. SCE describes its Clean
Power and Electrification Pathway in a white paper released today.
The approach builds upon existing state programs by
identifying cost-effective actions to increase clean energy in the electric
system and to leverage that clean electricity in the transportation and
building sectors to achieve needed emissions reductions. California
environmental goals include reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40
percent from 1990 levels by 2030 and by 80 percent by 2050, as well as reducing
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other health-harming pollutants in areas of the state
with the highest levels of air pollution by 2032.
